Situation November 2025: no chance of crossing the bridge. Construction work is still in full swing. Maybe it's possible on weekends if you sneak through.

From here, the Rhin flows through pristine nature. A beautiful canoe.

The diversion through the forest just before the lock is absolutely NOT suitable for normal e-bikes.

Important: The bridge near Rottstiel after the campsite is closed until Q4 2025. It will probably be possible to cross it again sooner. However, there is currently only "no bridge." You can return and walk around the lake via the Fontaneweg trail, right by the water.
